Brittany Amano wants to make sure every child in the US has enough to eat.
Brittany Amano, knows how it felt to go hungry. Her mother tried to find a job in Honolulu, Hawaii to support the family. Her grandmother helped out as much as she could. But the family still had to depend on a local food bank to live on, and she was thankful for that support.
When they lost their home, Amano’s family had to live in a friend’s basement（地下室）. “I could feel how hunger and homelessness influenced my family,” Amano told a reporter. “The experience made me want to give hope to others in the same situation.”
In fourth grade, she and some of her friends started a good project. They raised 700 and collected 800 pounds of food. At twelve, Amano set up the nonprofit（非营利的）group “Hawaii’s Future Isn’t Hungry”. She hoped to raise 10, 000 when she finished high school. She ended up raising more than 500, 000 in four years.
With the money collected, the nonprofit group, now called “The Future Isn’t Hungry”, can offer fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthy foods to school kids on Fridays. This is to make sure that the kids and their families have enough food to get them through the weekend. So far, the effort has helped more than 750, 000 people.
In the fall of this year, Amano will enter Duke University, in North Carolina on a full scholarship (奖学金). After that, she plans to return to Honolulu to give back to the city that gave her so much. “It doesn’t matter if you help one million people or just one person,” she says, “The smallest action can make a huge difference.”
